Map insert was created by jimpadou

Hello Team,

Is it possible to somehow add a google map in the user profile?
I want for some users to be able to set a map of their location.
I want users to select their location and be displayed in a map or to be able to set it from the backend myself insted of the user.
Is this possible?

Thank you.

It's typically better to just open a link to Google maps instead of embedding it. To embed it you'll have to load Google API and use their API to render and inline map. This will cause Google to bloat your profiles with tracking codes and a bunch of other nonsense that will, guaranteed, slow your pages down. GJ Events uses a simple click link to Google maps as follows.

Addresses:

Code:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/ADDRESS_HERE_URL_ENCODED

Businesses:

Code:

https://www.google.com/maps/search/LOCATION_HERE_URL_ENCODED

Check Google API usages regarding Google Maps if you still want to embed a map. Should work fine in a Custom HTML field (you may need to ensure your WYSIWYG editor allows script elements).
